Warm listening for relationship and resilience
Join me for a robust and compassionate journey into the heart of parenting
The roots of true resilience are in childhood, in the everyday interactions that create lifelong patterns of thriving. We are born ready for the most important relationships of our lives. Yet, in modern mainstream cultures, parenting is deeply unsupported and can be desperately hard work. Most of us were not brought up with the sort of care and connection that we needed and now we are trying to work out how to do better for our own children.
This course will provide you with the information, practical skills and support to grow the essential communication skills you need to foster warm and positive relationship with your child and become their very best ally in the challenging times we face.
I would love you to feel supported and nourished as you look after your children. This course is designed to hold you as you learn new ways of listening for connection.
Resilience develops in childhood
Our children are going to need strength and flexibility to live in a changing world; to contribute, to collaborate, to be resourceful and emotionally and mentally stable. The roots of all this are in childhood, and parents play a huge part in supporting their child to grow the foundations they need throughout their whole lives.
Welcome, I am really looking forward to working with you
Through videos and guided practices, I hope that you will feel my hand at your back as you join the adventure of a more radical approach to parenting
We could all do with more support to show up as our children's best allies
I want to share with you the most up to date research on what children need to grow up healthy and resilient – and the practical strategies that will help you to relate to your child in ways that grow a warm and beautiful relationship.
A practical knowledge of how trauma and attachment theory impact how we relate to each other is essential, as well as recognition that knowledge alone isn’t enough – and this course has been designed to give you both.
The research is clear, but being informed isn't enough when most of us have grown up without our basic needs being met. This is not the fault of our own parents but because we are part of a culture that has forgotten what children need most: warm responsive kindness.
Climate and social crises are making it urgent and important that we support our children's capacity to thrive now and for the future. We want to support them to be creative, cooperative and courageous in the face of unpredictability.
We need support from each other in practicing new and old ways of holding our children in care and connection. There is a huge amount of research and experience that shows the way deeper and more rewarding relationships and I would love to share it with you.
This course is a journey into both deep understanding and a warmer more compassionate relationship for yourself and your child, which is what lies at the heart of true resilience.
It is deliberately delivered in the most human, compassionate and relatable way possible and my heart felt intention is that you feel well accompanied as you learn.
Make it stand out.
